Mexican Stuffed Shells

Ingredients:

1

Cup

Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1

Pkg

Cream Cheese

Use mild, medium or hot Salsa to determine how spicy this dish is.

1

Pkg

Taco Seasoning

1

Box

Jumbo Pasta Shells

1.5

Cup

Salsa

1

Cup

Taco Sauce

1

Cup

Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1

Cup

Monterey Jack Cheese

3

Green Onions

Sour Cream, Black Olives, etc.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°.

In a frying pan cook ground beef; add taco seasoning and prepare according to package directions. Add cream cheese, cover and simmer until cheese is melted. Blend well. Set aside and cool completely. While ground beef is cooking, cook the pasta shells according to directions; drain. Set shells out individually on cutting board/baking sheet so that they don’t stick together.

Pour salsa on bottom of 9×13 baking dish. Stuff each shell with the meat mixture. Place shells in 9×13 pan open side up. Cover shells with taco sauce. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, add shredded cheese and bake for 10-15 more minutes, with the foil removed. Top with any condiments you’d like (green onions, black olives, etc.) Serve with sour cream and/or more salsa.
